- 2:45Speaker A: Igx, the Indian gas exchange is eyeing a December listing lining up its expansion and thus IGX may be spun out of by EX before NSE actually manages an ipo. On that topic, the Indian markets regulator SEBI apparently is ready to clear the way for an NSE listing, albeit where have we heard that before? National Stock Exchange of India at the same time is in talks with IGX on collaboration for developing an Indian natural gas futures contract. Over in Korea, KRX and NXT consortium they've won the preliminary nod to run Korea sto. The over the counter exchange holds an interesting development, albeit raises again the question of why the Korean Blob has to dictate what markets do even if they can maintain economic success unlike say the European Union who also practice this license. Raj idiocy Dow Jones they've signed a deal with Polymarket to prediction and market data across their outlets. And of course that comes in the wake of ICE investing up to $2 billion in polymarket, which we reported in EEI 3395 in new markets only on the new market and deal we have 24 hour foreign exchange market should be beginning in South Korea in July over in deals not the busiest of weeks headline there. TPI Cap they're buying vantage capital markets expanding their global broking capabilities having failed to deal with the internal Taliban style structure of their legacy business. TPI Cap is buying more headcount.

Product news and icy they're going to be listing US options for benchmark MSCI indexes. Great development there for the IC Nicee complex and the Intercontinental Exchange at the same time is extending its trading hours for EU gas and power, while the National Stock Exchange of India lurching into commodity markets, launching trading of electronic gold receipts. NSE getting into NCDEX's turf just as NCDEX is preparing to move the National Commodity Derivative Exchange into stocks and bonds. Technology news it's game over for the proxy business. Perhaps an SEC official has said investment advisors can use AI for proxy votes. JP Morgan at the same time have ended their ties with proxy advisors and turned to artificial intelligence. There's a mega move here and DB1's proxy conflict of interest asset ISS looks like a dud. Automating proxies is hard to hear rocket science than that disintermediate secure oligopoly which has long since been past its sell by date. Even before discussing the extent of the conflicts of interest within DB1 operating one in the first place, cue lots of be careful who you disintermediate op eds. I think the Brussels Bugle had one already as folks try desperately to prove they had value. Bottom line they didn't and it's time to rethink who else we just don't need in the stack. Meanwhile, ISS may have IPO issues ahead, not looks as if the sweet spot was last year. The next sweet spot may prove to be never. Cue lots of PowerPoints from the McKinsey management team of DB1 ahead of, I think Panic Group. Ask Tobias Paulin. He's been appointed as the new CEO of EEX as Peter Wright chose to depart EEX having built a titan of market structure. Peter was also our IPO vid guest on episode number 74 Building Sustainable Commodity markets worldwide. I applaud Peter's incredible career and look forward to what I hope will be a further chapter in the parish. SEBI have approved Rishi Nathani's appointment as MD and CEO of MCX's clearing subsidiary and the Pakistan Stock Exchange has elected Ruha Mohammed as Chairman over in Big World Looking at how regime change affects the world post Maduro in Venezuela, the big Kahuna is of course Cuba, with the Havana regime looking ever more of an outlier in a region where some form of capitalism is reigning supreme. Cutting off cheap oil and gas from Venezuela may be a catalyst for change to rid Castro era student politics forever, but it also then reorients the entire region as suddenly the tourist draw will be Havana and all other parts, barring presumably Guantanamo Bay which could grow the Caribbean's economy. But short term probably sees a massive substitution effect which could suck resources out of the rest of the region and on that mysterious and magnificent note.
